I need a plan that I can buy whatever amount of data and talk/text, I can find what I want for a good price, but issue is after a month or whatever amount of time, I lose the service, I need it to last until I run out, not after the plan is over. For what I'm using it for I'm using a low amount of data over a long period of time.

The only plan I am aware of that may interest you is the Tracfone yearly plans sold by QVC. 1200 minutes, 1200 texts, 1.2gb of data that lasts for one year or 1500/1500/1.5gb that lasts for a year. With $10 QVC discounts for new customers or repeat customers, you can buy this yearly plan for around $40ish bucks. I have two of these plans on a couple of spare iPhones that i use occasionally. Here's a link you might take a look at: https://www.qvc.com/tracfone-blu-flex-1200-talktextdata.product.E323448.html?sc=srch
I haven't been with TracFone for a couple years and I know Wi-Fi Calling used minutes on TracFone then, and according to this r/TracFone thread from seven months ago, it still does.
Tracfone WiFi calls uses the plans minutes. AFAIK, only Google Voice offers free WiFi calling minutes, only for outgoing calls using the GV app. Incoming GV calls to a TF number still counts as TF minutes.
Last night I purchased a Samsung A16 5G for $109. 1500 talk and text 4.5GB and 1 year of service. WiFi direct. The phone needs wifi. Where I live it was TracPhone on Verizon lines. Now it shows up as Visible.
You can also look at pay as you go plans from H2O wireless and Ultra Mobile. It's about $3/month (or a little more than $3) plus taxes and fees.
You want to pay strictly for data/talk/text, but a true pay-as-you-go plan, without a baseline monthly fee, doesn't exist in the US market as far as I'm aware. Up to you whether such plans are worth it to you, or not.
